Typically, the vacuum source is from the same area as the brake vacuum assist (for power brake cars). There's a multi-nippled fitting toward the back of the intake manifold. It will have one large (3/8) nipple pointing straight up and one or more smaller ones coming out of the hex-shaped base. Cop cars have so many, they look like an octopus! You could hook to a spare port on your carb also.
